If the Mandelas were the generals in the fight for black liberation, the Mashininis were the foot soldiers.

Reissued for the 50th anniversary of the Soweto Uprising, A BURNING HUNGER reveals how one family’s courage ignited resistance and forever changed South Africa. Deeply moving, it remains one of the seminal books about the struggle against apartheid.

“A book that is as fascinating as the best novels.”
― Mario Vargas Llosa

The first starred review is in for Amanda Rizkalla's "moving, emotional debut," HUNGERED! 🌟

Sofia’s mother promises that soon she’ll have her own bedroom to decorate. Soon, too, she’ll be able to see her friends, go back to school, and eat the colorful, tempting cakes in the grocery store’s display case. For now, though, twelve-year-old Sofia lives with her mother and younger brother in their car. For now, Sofia’s days are a blur of freeways and strip malls as her mother searches for a safe place to park for the night. For now, Sofia tries to carve out a space and an identity for herself while grappling with her family’s disintegration.

For readers of THE HOUSE ON MANGO STREET and WE THE ANIMALS, this striking novel brings to life an unforgettable young narrator and the complicated, loving, cruel, and generous figures that make up her universe.
